Who Would Jesus Deport?

By       (Page 2 of 5 pages)   1 comment

Yes beloved, you simply cannot make this stuff up. Because Jesus did not kidnap these children, Larry Tomczak believes that refugees seeking help escaping poverty and death should be returned to their poverty and death. Tomczak was not done though on this ridiculous point:

Though the case could be made that these little ones would certainly fare better leaving parental ties to enjoy a better way of life by following the One who could heal any sickness, feed multitudes and provide extraordinary instruction, Jesus Christ modeled a maxim throughout His ministry: Express compassion. Honor authority.

The little children would have been better off following Jesus? The man who told people who wanted to follow Him that He had no place to even lay His head? And you think that because He let the children go that He did so because He was "honoring authority?" Really? So you really believe that Jesus thought, "Gee I would love to kidnap these kids and drag them all around with me but I respect authority too much to do so?" Lunacy beloved. Sheer lunacy. Unfortunately, he was far from done:

Jesus did not try to meet every need in every place at every time. Need does not necessarily constitute ministry! Like Him, we need to be discerning plus determine available resources in dealing with people's legitimate needs.

Yes. That is the Jesus I remember so well. The one who was counting His shekels before deciding if He was going to minister to someone or not. Tomczak should have left it there because now he goes into Scripture to try and prove his point. Here are five horrific examples of misusing the Word of God to prop up your political opinion:

1) "Multitudes came together to hear and be healed by Jesus of their infirmities but he withdrew to a lonely place and prayed." (Lk. 5:15--16). If we operate out of sentimentality, Jesus appears to be uncaring and inconsiderate, doesn't he?

No Larry. The text does not make Jesus seem uncaring at all. It also does not state that anyone went unattended. It does not state that any went home with their needs unmet. It does not indicate that the people were not in some of the prayers even offered by Jesus.

2) In Mathew 22:11-14 Jesus told a parable of a man desiring entrance to an event but refused entrance because of not honoring the requirements.

In Matthew 25:1-13 He told of 10 young maidens desiring to gain entrance to a special occasion and yet five were turned away and called "foolish" because they did not fulfill the requirements.
